Leslie’s tongue was like a beautiful snake, and she used it to entice Arnold. But no matter how hard she tried, she could not get him to open his mouth or return her kiss. He was like a marble statue, hard and cold.
Meanwhile, no one even noticed that Crystal was in the water or that she was struggling for her life. Nathan had a firm grip on her ankle, and he was trying to drag her down to the bottom of the pool. He had done it once, and he obviously thought it was a game, but there was no guarantee that she could survive a second round. Unfortunately for her, everyone was oblivious to her struggles.

Leslie was angry and annoyed, and when Arnold continued to ignore her sexual advances, she bit into his lower lip. The bitter, coppery taste of blood flooded her senses, and she sm
“Will you be at school for the rest of the day?” Serenity asked. “The school has invited the National Championship Fencing Team to give us a special demonstration and teach us a few moves. It will be a valuable opportunity, and I wouldn’t miss it if I were you!”Crystal poked her head with her index finger and said, “You seem to be quite dissatisfied with my absence from school lately. Don’t worry. I won’t skip any classes today, especially if the National Championship Fencing Team is here!”After the first class ended, they went to the dressing room. Crystal put on her fencing clothes: a white suit with white shoes and a black and white protective mask. The outfit not only showed off her figure but also made her look elegant and handsome.Crystal tied up her hai
Serenity was shocked. She grabbed Crystal’s sleeve and said, “Hey, are you crazy? Do you want to get your ass handed to you?!?!”Crystal laughed and said, “Lady, I am wearing protective clothing, okay?”Johnny Angel, the school counselor, began to clap his hands to encourage her, and pretty soon, everyone else was cheering her on. “She looks just like Mulan!” Archie shouted, and someone else called out, “You go, girl!”Crystal drew her sword indifferently and walked towards the fencing master. They crossed swords, and the match began. Warren struck first, and as his sword swung at her, he said, “Be warned, my sword does not distinguish between men and women or young and old.”Crystal smiled as she blocked
In their rush to leave the gymnasium, the rest of the student body quickly caught up to Crystal. Serenity was the first one to reach her, and when she saw that Crystal was upset, she hugged her and said, “Don’t look so gloomy. If Professor Davis is forced to hug you, then everyone will know your relationship status. Is that what you want?”Crystal rolled her eyes and ignored her friend. Then she turned to Nathan and said, “Are you okay?”Nathan lowered his voice and said, “Call me, ‘Honey.’ I think that would make me feel better.”Crystal: “When we get home, I will make it up to you.”Serenity giggled when she heard that, and she leaned into Crystal’s ear and whispered: “Are you going to make l
Nathan glared at Crystal through the rearview mirror and said, “From now on, if you need to go somewhere, I will drive you. You will not walk, take a taxi, or ride the bus. Do you understand me?”Crystal gave Nathan an incredulous look. “How will you hold up your end of the deal?” she asked. “You are a busy man. You can’t just drop everything and be available to be my driver 24/7!”Nathan grunted noncommittally and didn’t say anything. When they arrived at the supermarket, when Crystal got out of the car, he followed her. “Hold on!” he shouted. “Do you think you can leave without paying your fare?”Crystal was stunned. She had not expected him to ask for a payment for the ride. “How much do I owe you?” she asked.
Once the potatoes were boiled, Crystal turned off the stove and took out the butter and milk from the fridge that she would need when she mashed them. Then, as she was reaching for the strainer, her phone rang. She answered it without checking the Caller ID and was shocked to hear Lucy’s unusually anxious voice on the other end. Lucy was her parents’ housekeeper.Lucy: “Crystal, come to the hospital quickly! Your Father is dying!”When Crystal heard that, it was as if all of her bones had turned into spaghetti, and she collapsed onto the floor. Upon hearing the noise, Nathan rushed into the kitchen and crouched down beside her. Then he wrapped his arms around her and asked her what was wrong.“My father is dying….” Crystal replied lamely. Although she was not close to her F
Nathan ran his fingers through Crystal’s hair as she cried into his muscular chest. “I’ve known about Todd’s secret for a long time,” he admitted. “And don’t worry, I’ve been trying hard to find your Biological Father. Soon, we will find him,”“But why did my Mother leave you my inheritance?” Crystal asked. “Was it because you paid off all of her debts?”Nathan nodded. “There was that,” he said. “But there was more to it.”Crystal raised her head and looked at him in confusion.“There was also the matter of you,” Nathan explained.Crystal had already been crying, but when she heard that, she remembered what
When Leslie returned, she was wearing her white strapless dress. She looked stunning, and even Arnold had to admit that the garment suited her. Dressed as she was, she appeared delicate and charming, and her short blonde hair radiated femininity.When Arnold looked at Leslie, he recalled the kiss that she had given him in the bathroom, and his desire for her was undeniable.Leslie had said that she would bring a decent boyfriend home, but Arnold hadn’t taken her seriously. By bringing this decent, extraordinary man home, she had really surprised him. He didn’t expect that Leslie would be entangled with someone coming from a rich family.When Leslie walked past Arnold, there was a coy smile on her face.Arnold stared at her without blinking his eyes. Her
Once Crystal recovered from her shock, she said, “If Nathan is engaged to Helen, where does that leave me?”Leslie shrugged and said, “I don’t know. I can see now why Eric hasn’t been around lately, though….” She produced a pack of cigarettes, took one for herself, and offered Crystal another. “Want one?”Crystal looked up and nodded. She knew how bad she looked now, and it made her feel like a harlot.Leslie lit up a cigarette and placed it directly into Crystal’s mouth. Then she said, “Everyone knows how much Helen loves Nathan. She would die for him. It is quite the triangle you’ve landed in. If Helen still loves Nathan, though, he will have to marry her. So you have to be prepared for that.”
Crystal looked at Mrs. Bush in a trance.“Amos Davis is…”Eric stood up and pressed the wound with a swab of alcohol.“Is Amos Davis Nathan’s father?” Crystal asked again.“Yes.” Eric looked down at her. “Are you surprised?”“So you and Nathan...”“You have a good imagination. We are not related.”“What about the child?”“Isn’t it obvious? The child’s death was the main cause of her nervous breakdown.” Eric held out his injured hand and said, “Honey, aren’t yo
At night, Crystal woke up sweating from her nightmare.The servant somehow slipped down on the carpet and fell asleep by the door.Crystal opened her eyes in tears. It was dark and still. She looked down at the overlapping lights, her heart aching as if she had been sliced open by razor blades.She tiptoed out of bed and picked up the phone from the bedside table.She walked barefoot into the bathroom, sat on the toilet, and stared at the black screen for a while.A week before, she had lost control of herself and seemed to have unconsciously dialed the number she had branded at her fingertips.But there came a female voice without feeling:
Eric looked at Crystal in shock.“You can rest assured that these small cuts will not affect the child’s physical health. And it won’t affect your revenge on Nathan!” Crystal said happily, her jaw suddenly strangled.Eric clutched her jaw tightly. “I thought you were a strong woman, but you’re just so vulnerable.”“That’s right. I’m vulnerable. Didn’t you know that?”That was why Eric asked the servant to put the blades away.Just now, it was also the servant who heard that Crystal was looking for the blade, so she rushed to find Eric immediately.Looking at the sweat on his forehead, the way he was out of bre
Inside the villa, doctors came in and out. Luckily, Eric sent Crystal into his car, and he gave her warm measures in time and kept her cold feet warm.“Miss Smith and the baby are fine. But Miss Smith was cold and somewhat weak. As for her feet, it’s taboo to touch cold water in this weather,” replied the doctor. “You’d better help her now, help her to activate her blood lest she might fall off rheumatism when she is older.Eric had Crystal’s feet rubbed by himself with the best essential oil.Crystal fell asleep in a daze. Her tears never stopped, as though she had dreamt of something sad.Her dry lips moved, calling someone’s name.Eric got close enough to hear her.
Crystal seemed to see Nathan staring at her with an angry face in her bewilderment.Her heart was beating wildly across her chest. She broke down and wanted to reach out and let him take her away.Suddenly, she didn’t want to take care of anything. She was not as strong as she thought.She just wanted a man who loved her, and she loved. She wanted to be cared for, have a child, and live a simple life. But the next second, the figure turned into Eric.He held down the handrail of the wooden bridge and jumped into the lake.Splash! Splash!Several bodyguards also jumped down one after another.Eric quickly walked over to her, took
Vic came in from the outside and was quite surprised to see this scene.He had expected Nathan’s return to make up with Crystal.Crystal was thrown into the bathroom, and her body crashed against the cold porcelain wall.Nathan hadn’t given up yet, even though she had made it so clearly.He picked up a birdbath and jabbed it into her hand. “Pee.”Crystal held the basin. “Do you want to check, and then you give up and let me go?”“Now!”He tugged at her trousers.Crystal went out today wearing suspenders, and Nathan took off her coat and stripp
Crystal pulled away from his hand hard and turned to leave.He instantly retrieved her body, and she hit him hard on the chest.Nathan held her tightly, his last icy line collapsed.“Don’t go. Don’t leave me.” He said.This man, who had just been proud and arrogant, was momentarily weak again.Crystal was not feeling any better, and her heart was trembling.“I miss you so much. I’ve been thinking about you, Crystal, every minute of the day. My life was dull and sad. I function every day, but I’m dying inside,” His voice, with the hot air, blew in her ear.Crystal felt as
A man was sitting with his legs crossing on the dark blue leather sofa, silent and noble in the living room.Crystal stood at the door, only by seeing him at a glance did she want to run away. However, her feet were like a tree with deep roots, so steady and heavy that she could not move it a little.Every night, the man she saw in her dream was now sitting in front of her. The man put out the cigarette and said casually, “Miss Smith, here you are.”The voice was like thunder, which immediately woke Crystal up.She jerked around to leave…“Miss Smith, don’t you want your watch back?” Nathan’s cold voice sounded again.It’s him!
“More than 20 years?” Nancy didn’t understand. “That is to say, I’ve been waiting to meet you since I was born,” he gave Nancy a charming smile, “You’re in a cold sweat, am I so horrible?” Nancy shook her head, “No...” “I don’t want to be someone you’re afraid of,” he kissed on the back of Nancy’s hand, “I just want to be a big tree, to provide shade and shelter for you.” Nancy lowered her head in a panic, dared not look at him. That’s so unreal, and such dreamlike happiness would catch everyone unprepared, especially someone a boy crazy like Nancy. Marcos was like a noble prince; no woman could resist his charm and tenderness.
